Insert from local paper:
Earnest Hughes and Miss Iva Mae Ketcham, well Known and esteemed young people of Kilbourne, were united in marriage on Saturday afternoon by Rev. Robt. E Henry, Pastor of the local Central Christian Church at the manse of the Church.
The Fair Bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Ketcham of near Kilbourne and the groom is an industrious young farmer of that locality.
The newly-weds will make their home on a farm in Kilbourne Township where they will be attended by the best wishes of their many friends.
(This writer, Walter Duane Thomas, grandson of Ernest Hughes, remembers his grandfather as a young child 5 or 6 listening to the Cub and Cardinal baseball game on the radio with him and my brother Ronald Thomas, grandpa would shell pecans and feed them to us. We would tease him about the Cardinals beating the Cubs, and he would tickle us. That is when we became cardinal fans.
I also remember I had the chicken pox, every day I had them he would come in and give me a penny. We lived with them at that time, we lived on Lydia Street in Peoria, Illinois. I was in kindergarten. He died shortly after that. (He will always be remembered by me.)
